Last Time: (Jasper's POV)
"Can we ignore it?" I asked, pulling her to me. It felt good having some skin on skin contact with her again.
"Not really, but how about you meet me back here tomorrow," She rubbed her hand over my chest. "And maybe you might get a repeat. But right now, you're freaky little pixie is going to show up." She quickly gathered her clothes, pulling them on as fast as she could. I jumped out of the tree and grabbed my boxers before throwing them on, followed by my jeans and top. Bella was fully dressed and standing on top of the tree.
I jumped up as fast as I could, wrapping her in my arms tightly and kissing her neck. She smiled and kissed my lips quickly.
"I love you." I told her.
"I love you too." She whispered back, with a kiss to my chest she darted off through the trees. I ran in the other direction, quickly taking down a few deer, much to my disgust, and trying to replace Bella's scent with the deers, again, much to my disgust. I loved her scent.. So I spilled a bit of blood on myself.
Fuck, today was one of the best I've had since we started this fucking mission. Then I remembered Bella had to see Eddie boy tonight.
Tear me down they can't take you out of my thoughts
Under every scar there's a battle I've lost
Will they stop when they see us again?
I can't stop now I know who I am.
All Yours - Metric.
Bella.
7 o'clock came too fast for my likings. I got up and wound the clock back a couple hours. It didn't help when Rose burst into my room and threw water all over me. Yeah, sure the temperature didn't affect me. But it annoyed the fuck out of me. I stayed curled into my blankets, wearing Jasper's grey hoodie and black boy shorts.
"Fuck off." I told her.
"Come on honey, the moon is out to see you.." She sang.
"Tell the moon to fuck off too." I growled, keeping my eyes closed, I picked up a pillow and threw it in the direction I heard her voice coming from. I heard a soft thump and smirked.
"Isabella Hale," Oh here we go. "If you don't get up right now-" She threatened. The smirk on my face grew.
"You'll do what, Rosie toesie?" I heard her growl, then a swish of wind. By the time I opened my eyes and realized what was happening, I was squished by Rose.
"Get up! Get up! Get up, now!" She yelled, tickling my sides. I started laughing and screaming at her to stop. She just wouldn't, her fast fingers just kept coming back and attacking my sides.
"Rose! Ha-, Stop it!" I laughed. "If you don't get off of me," I kept trying to growl, but I kept laughing at the same time. "That's it." I growled. I looked into her eyes and took over her body.
"Bella!" She screamed. Usually when I took over some body's body I could control everything. Rose had learnt how to talk while I was in control due to the fact I took over her body on a weekly basis when shit like this happened.
I couldn't say anything, then she sighed. "Fine. Just get out of my body." She ground out between gritted teeth. I stepped outside of her body, re-gaining a solid body instead of a silhouette. I flexed my fingers and looked at Rose who sat on my bed glaring.
"It's 6pm." She told me. "You have a date in an hour."
"No it's not." I pointed to my wound back clock that read 4.30. Rose laughed.
"That doesn't count, all the other clocks in the house say 6pm."
"Oh, I'll go fix that." I said, walking out of the room.
"Not so fast short stuff." I growled turning to glare at her. She smirked, running at me and and threw me over her shoulder.
"Hey! Rose!" I yelled and started punching her back. She didn't seem phased. "Put me down!"
"I will, as soon as I throw you in the shower."
"I can shower myself!" I yelled back. Who does she think she is?
"Oh, I'm sure you can. But I know you. And you would spend an hour in the shower so you would miss your date." I could practically hear the smirk in her voice. It made me grit my teeth. I literally got thrown in the shower and the water turned on. Rose picked up the shower head and sprayed me with it. I spat out the water and snatched the shower head from her.
"Fuck you." I glared.
"Love you too." She sang as she left the bathroom. I sighed, stripping out of Jasper's hoodie, reluctantly. And stripping off the rest of my clothes. I stood under the cold spray, letting it run over my frozen skin. I reached for my TRESemme shampoo and scrubbed it into my hair before washing it out. I did the same with the TRESemme conditioner. Leaving it in for three minutes, before rinsing it out.
I looked at the soaps along the shower. Which one? Strawberry.. No. Wildflower? No. Vanilla and coconut. I haven't used that. I picked it up and smelt it. I smelt wonderful, so I scrubbed it all over me, before standing under the water again and letting the soapy bubbles wash off until I was clean.
Maybe I could stand under here and just forget about Edward Cullen. Maybe if I turned the water off, and get dressed, I can sneak into my room and just stay there. They might think I've gone out and leave me alone.
I was brought out of my thoughts when there was a loud thumping on the door. "Get your scrawny ass out of the shower before it gets cold!" Emmett yelled.
"It is cold!" I shouted back.
"Well get the fuck out or I'm coming in!" I sighed and turned off the water.
"Stupid fucking Emmett." I growled under my breath. I heard his booming laugh through the door. Hell, I would have heard it a few miles away.
I grabbed a red fluffy towel and dried my body quickly before wrapping it around me. I grabbed another towel and dried my hair with it, walking out of the bathroom, I was met with Emmett.
"Why the fuck do you want my bathroom anyway?" I snapped. He laughed looking down at me.
"I didn't, Rose just told me to make you get out of the shower." He said before ruffling my semi-dry hair and running out of my room.
"Shut the door!" I said after him, knowing he'd hear me. He ran back, smiled, and shut the door. Unfortunately, he slammed it and the door fell off of it's hinges. I glared.
"This better be fixed by the time I get back." Em gulped and nodded. I smiled and went through my drawers. Hmm.. What to wear, what to wear. I pulled out some dark blue skinny jeans and decided I would layer my tops. I pulled out a grey one and threw that over top of my black bra, followed by a loose black shirt, then a bright yellow flannel type shirt, followed by a black leather jacket. All my tops were open aside from the first grey one.
"Cold, Bells?" I heard Rose laugh. I looked at her, leaning against my doorway. Where the door should be.
"Yeah, it's meant to be really cold tonight. Got to look the part. I don't want Cullen's jacket again." I shuddered. I burnt that fucker the second I got home. The memory brought a flicker of a smile to my face.
"I know you don't want to go, honey." She whispered, walking to stand in front of me. She reached out and tucked a strand of black hair behind my ear.
"That's an understatement." I said, my eyes flickering to the ground. I felt her finger under my chin pushing slightly. Making me look at her.
"It'll be over before you know it. Me and Em will be close by. Promise." She said, holding out her pinky finger. I took my pinky finger and wrapped it around hers, shaking it once. I smiled up at Rose, before she pulled me into a hug.
"You're stronger than me. That's why I'm not doing this." She whispered in my ear. I smiled against her shoulder, before pulling back.
"Thank you."
"Anytime." She smiled back. "Okay, enough sappy shit. Let's do the hair and make up!" She laughed, I couldn't help but laugh too.
After 10 minutes, Rose had my hair perfectly waved and tousled. My layers everywhere and looking really rock-ish. My make up consisted of grey and black eye shadow. The grey started in the inner eye and in the middle smudged in with the black, the black carried on the rest of the way, creating a dark smokey eye effect. I wore a touch of ivory foundation, a lot of black eyeliner and two coats of mascara.
Rose held up bright red lipstick.
"Rose, I am a vampire, we don't need blood covered lips." I told her.
"It'll look really hot. Trust me." She smiled. I didn't want to look hot for Cullen. I wanted to throw up at that thought. Rose leaned forward and put the lipstick on my lips.
"Alright, done. Now you better get to Port Angeles ASAP." Rose laughed. I waved my hand dismissively with a smile. Rose kissed my head quickly before leaving the room. I grabbed my bag with my wallet and essentials in it before leaving the house to get my car.
Jumping in I revved up the engine and smiled as the car purred.
After a not so long drive with my incredibly fast driving skills, I was in Port Angeles. Cullen wasn't there yet, so I decided to go buy a book from the bookstore.
There wasn't much to do, and Cullen still hadn't showed, so I started walking back to my car, taking a shortcut through the alleyway. There were about five mean in the alleyway, and as I turned to go a different way, they followed me. I got near the end before another couple waited for me. This was starting to fuck me off.
"Hey beautiful." One of them stated. I glared and continued walking. I felt one of them come and grab my shoulder.
"Don't touch me I warned." I really didn't want to go vampire on their asses when I knew Cullen would be here soon.
"Aw, come on. Why don't you hang with us?" "Yeah, we'll make it worth it." Another hand gripped my other shoulder. I whirled around and punched him in the face harshly. I smiled when I heard the right side of his face shatter.
"You fucking bitch!" He yelled. The others started moving forward towards me, they all wore grim expressions. I heard a car that sounded like a fucking wind up toy cut through the wind. A few seconds later a silver volvo screeched to a stop just behind me. Edward got out with a constipated look on his face.
"Get in the car." He demanded, not looking at me. I wanted to tell him to get fucked and turn around and drain these fuckers. "Bella." He called in a cold voice. I looked back at the men that I wanted to kill and walked toward the stupid shiny volvo.
"Nice car." I heard one of them say. Edward took a step forward, scaring the men away before they all turned and ran. Even the one that was laying on the ground in pain ran away.
Edward jumped in the car, throwing it into reverse, then jamming it in first gear before doing a 180 and speeding out of there and onto the road. He had a murderous grip on the steering wheel. I just sat in the seat, unfazed by all of this.
"How did you know where I was?" I asked. I knew how he knew. He followed my scent.
"Can we talk about something else before I go back and rip those guys heads off." His eyes stayed locked on the road. I looked at him and saw he wasn't wearing a seat belt.
"You should put your seatbelt on." I wanted to laugh at how stupid it sounded. I said it in a tone like I-Don't-Really-Care-If-You-Get-Thrown-Through-The-Fucking-Windscreen.
He laughed with no humor before looking at me quickly. "You should put your seat belt on." I ignored him anyway. He breathed through his flaring nostrils. "You don't know the vile things they were thinking." He whispered loud enough for a human to hear. He looked at me slightly, and I knew he wanted to tell me he was different.
"Why were you there anyway?" He asked after he had calmed down. I held up my blue covered book. "I see."
I didn't respond. I mean, what do you say? Yeah, you see asshole. I don't even want to be here. I'm just using you, so how about you tell me all you know about the Volturi? Yeah, tempting. I don't see why I couldn't just possess him and get all the information out of his head.
I heard mumbling and realized Edward was talking. "-Do you want something to eat?" He asked.
"No thank you." I replied. Damn, I had to actually pretend to like this guy. I better get a fucking award for this.
"Are you sure?" He asked concerned. More like obsessive.
"Yeah, I'm sure. Special diet." I smiled. He looked at me, then raked his eyes over my body.
"You look light as a feather. Why would you need a diet?" He asked. Damn that fucking obsessive Cullen.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you not to talk about a girls weight?" I shot back, acting slightly offended. He looked like he would be paler if he could, his mouth hanging open slightly as he stammered over his words. Again.
"I.. N-no, I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it like that." He managed to spit out.
"Okay, I think I'm warm enough now." I said and reached to turn off the heating. His hand reached for it too, knocking mine. I fake gasped at how cold he was. He looked at me for a second before darting his eyes back to the road.
"So, you like read minds?" I asked, pointing my index finger to my head with a confused expression on my face. He nodded. "What am I thinking?"
He looked confused for a second before regaining his posture. "Actually, I can't get a read on you. You're sister and her boyfriend, yes. But not you. It's.. It's very frustrating."
"Is something wrong with me?" I asked dumbly. He smiled with a small laugh.
"I tell you I can read minds, and you think there is something wrong with you?" I nodded slightly. "Nothing is wrong with you, Bella. It's me. Bella," He sighed. Looking for the right words. "I'm not normal."
"Oh, cause I didn't figure that out when you told me you could read minds." I stated sarcastically. He smiled at me, reaching for my hand. I relectantly let him take it. He pressed a kiss to my knuckles.
"I will tell you. Just not tonight." He said honestly. I nodded with a fake smile on my face. I was trying not to grimace. His lips touched my skin. My hand. I'd have to leave e hand in boiling water until the water went cold. I fake sneezed, yanking my hand back to cover my nose.
"Are you okay?" He asked concerned. "Carlisle is a doctor, I can take you to see him." I was about to protest, when I thought I could see Jasper.
"It's probably just a cold." I replied. He smiled.
"It doesn't matter. We'll take you to see Carlisle." He told me.
"Just let me tell my sister then." I said and pulled out my little black phone. I sent a quick text to Rose.
Going to Cullen's house.
Em, make Carlisle think I have a cold.
xx
I hit send and deleted the message. I slid it shut and put it back in my pocket.
It didn't take to long to get to the Cullen's. They had a huge house that was mostly made of glass. I saw Jasper on the porch with Alice and couldn't stop the smile from over taking my face. Edward mistook my smile for the huge house.
"Esme is an interior designer." He explained. I nodded, my eyes on Jasper's, and his on me. We both exchanged smiles before having to turn our minds back to our fake partner.
"Let's get you inside." Cullen told me, taking my hand and walking me slowly up the stairs. I wanted to smack him around the head, humans weren't even this slow. I let go of his hand and jogged up the stairs to the doorway. Edward ran at vampire speed and opened the door. I pretended to jump slightly, Edward looked slightly shocked at what he had done.
Alice just ignored me and chose to hang off of Jasper, who looked extremely pissed off.
"Hello Bella." I was greeted by Esme. I smiled in return saying a quick 'Hey'.
"Is Carlisle here? I think Bella's coming down with something." Edward said worriedly. Esme looked at me through honestly concerned eyes. I knew if I wanted this mission to work, I couldn't get close to her. I wouldn't be able to betray Esme. She walked up the stairs and called Carlisle, who calmly walked down the stairs.
"Carlisle, I think Bella may be getting sick." He explained. Carlisle came over to me and stopped half a foot away.
"Hello, Bella. I am Carlisle Cullen." He held out his hand. I smiled back.
"Bella Hale." I shook his hand. He smiled at me.
"Now, let's see what you're coming down with." He said as he put one of those wooden sticks in my mouth to see the back of my throat. He felt my throat and sighed.
"I think you may be getting a cold. Nothing too bad." He smiled a generally happy smile. Why weren't the parents more like their kids? Why couldn't they be horrible?
Bella, stop it. Don't feel anything for them. you can't risk putting everything in jeopardy over two people. Just calm the fuck down and get over it. Close your heart off and remain numb. This is a fucking mission, treat it like one.
